Christopher James Scott
December 1, 1982-January 19, 2026
At the age of 43, Chris was called home to be with the Lord, and although he is no longer with us, his memory will remain in our hearts forever.
Christopher was a beloved father, son and brother who loved his family deeply.
He is preceded in death by his infant son, Chase Christopher Scott and the love of his life Sheena Moore. In addition, his grandparents, Willis and Agnes Scott, Thomas and Irma Myers and Uncle Tom Myers.
He is survived by his greatest gift, his son, Wyatt Scott. His parents Donald James Scott and Cynthia Lang (Myers) Willgues. Siblings, Shannon (Dennis) Getz, Troy (Susie) Smith, Holly Gatesman, Shelly Smith, Nicole (Jamie) Weber, Noelle (Matt) Burnham and Ryan Scott. His nieces and nephews, Justin Getz, Garrett (Alex) Getz, Josh Russell (Sam Siebert), Alora Gatesman, Sean Michael Gatesman, Taylor Parsons, Evan Weber, Cole Weber, Tatum Weber, Jackson Scott and many more family members and friends.
Christopher passed away peacefully, leaving behind memories that will be forever cherished by those who knew and loved him. He found joy in life's quiet moments and expressed his heart through creativity and compassion.
He loved listening to his music, which was a constant source of enjoyment and self-expression for him. Drawing and writing poetry allowed him to share his thoughts and emotions. He also enjoyed fishing, valuing the peace and reflection that came with time spent outdoors.
Above all, Chris had a deep love for animals, showing kindness and care for every creature he encountered. His creative spirit, gentle heart and love for life will always be remembered.
He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched.
The family will have a private memorial service.
